It's what I always wanted to do, to show the laughter, the fun, the joy of dance.

Our arms start from the back because they were once wings.

Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.

The body says what words cannot.

Movement never lies. It is a barometer telling the state of the soul's weather to all who can read it.

I feel that the essence of dance is the expression of man--the landscape of his soul. I hope that every dance I do reveals something of myself or some wonderful thing a human can be.

The body is a sacred garment. It's your first and last garment; it is what you enter life in and what you depart life with, and it should be treated with honor.

Dance is the hidden langauge of the soul, of the body.

Misery is a communicable disease.

Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. Great dancers are great because of their passion.

No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a strange, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.

I never trust people with no appetite. It's like they're always holding something back on you.

It's your mind you have to train, like your mom said that one time, you have to separate yourself from all the crap, get down to the core, focus.

A house in the middle of nowhere always reminds us our Earth’s position in the universe!

Knowledge and courage take turns at greatness.

When I'm not paralytic, I like to play golf.

It is better to laugh at man from outside the universe, than to weep for him within.

"You look how you look," "Be comfortable. What are you going to do? Be hungry every single day to make other people happy? That's just dumb."

The story with anorexic girls - nobody works with anorexic girls. That has nothing to do with fashion.

Happy in all that ragged, loose collapse of water, the fountain, its effortless descent and flatteries of spray.

I wanted my style to be very recognizable.
